Frequently Asked Questions About Classical Guitars
How do I choose the right classical guitar for my level?
Choosing the right classical guitar depends on your playing level, musical goals, and budget. Beginners benefit from studio-model guitars from renowned workshops, while advanced players and professionals often choose a handmade master guitar. We are happy to advise you personally and can send detailed sound samples and videos on request.
What is the difference between a master guitar and a studio guitar?
Master guitars are built entirely by hand in the workshop of a single luthier, using only high-quality, well-aged tonewoods. Studio guitars are made in small series, often under the supervision of the master luthier, and offer excellent value for students and ambitious amateur players.
Can I try a classical guitar at home for 14 days?
Yes — every guitar you purchase from us comes with a 14-day home approval period. This complimentary trial applies worldwide to all orders, whether you are in Germany, Europe, the USA, Asia or anywhere else. We ship your instrument fully insured in a high-quality case so you can play it under your own acoustic conditions. If the guitar is not the right one for you, simply send it back and receive a full refund of the purchase price.
Can I try a classical guitar before purchasing?
Absolutely. You are warmly invited to visit our showroom in Karlsruhe, Germany, and test the instruments at your leisure. We are happy to schedule a personal appointment. If a visit is not possible, we send detailed videos and sound samples, and offer extensive consultation by phone or video call.
What payment methods and financing options do you offer?
We accept bank transfer, PayPal, major credit cards, and Klarna. For high-value instruments, we offer individual installment plans on request. Please contact us directly — we will find a suitable solution for every budget.
How do I properly care for my classical guitar?
A classical guitar requires constant humidity between 45 and 55 percent. Store the instrument in its case with a humidifier, avoid direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations. Change the strings regularly and clean the guitar with a soft microfiber cloth.

About the Guitar Maker
José Salinas’ journey into guitar making is deeply rooted in his early connection to both flamenco music and woodworking. His father, a skilled carpenter, instilled in him a love for working with wood, and José spent seven years learning the craft in his father’s workshop in Almería. This foundation, combined with his deep involvement in flamenco as a “Cantaor” (flamenco singer), inspired him to see the guitar as the perfect union of his two passions – music and craftsmanship.
During a tour in the United States, José met luthier Arcadio Marín, who encouraged him to pursue guitar making. Motivated by this encounter, he began studying traditional Spanish guitar-making methods and soon dedicated himself fully to the craft.
In 2014, he opened his own workshop in Málaga, where he now builds handcrafted Spanish guitars that reflect the essence of Spain’s rich musical and artistic heritage. Each instrument combines his profound understanding of flamenco sound with his refined woodworking skills, resulting in guitars of exceptional tonal depth and character.
From the careful selection of tonewoods to the final polish, José’s instruments embody the spirit of Spanish tradition – guitars that unite beauty, craftsmanship, and the expressive soul of music. His workshop in Málaga stands as a testament to his commitment to creating guitars that merge the warmth of fine wood with the passion of Spanish sound.
